New Breed: A short story.

I would like to begin this edition of New Breed with a short story About what Flatland is to me. In 1998 Myself and Andy Cooper were commited to attending every ESPN contest that year. Needless to say there where many hours spent practicing the same links over and over, as a result my contest placings were consistent, however my progression had slowed a great deal. It was during this time that I was sessioning in large part totally alone, in front my then home. One day I was running through my links for an upcoming contest and all of the sudden I thought, hey, It would be cool if I did a no-footed wheelie straight to death truck. So I gave it an attempt and stomped it first try. As I sat there in the hot Indy summer sun, I realized I couldn’t quit smiling. There was nobody around to see my accomplishment. I was all alone, and happy and content as I’ve ever been. It was at this time that I realized my true love of Flatland. Flatland is me, and I am Flatland, Joe.

Old school sundays…

These freestyle fanatics vids bring it all back for me, the old AFA velodrome contests are legendary, lookout for Chad Johnston again, also guys like Darren Pelio on part 3, he brought the carved karl kruzer with his brake lever to the floor, something that more recently Moto Sasaki has brought back and added backwards spinning to the mix, knowing your past,  can make your future. enjoy!

Worlds is on in Prague June 4-6



The newly opened Freestyle Park in Prague Modrany will welcome the BMX Worlds June 4-6, sanctioned by IBMXFF. The Worlds competition will be held in the 5 major disciplines of BMX Freestyle – vert, dirt, street, flatland and mini ramp. The registrations will be opened in 3 categories – masters, experts and pro.  In 2005 the BMX Worlds in Prague made a major influence on the BMX scene in the Czech Republic. It was a boost for the riders and the industry it self for a culture where freestyle BMX could have still been considered a slightly underground sport. Since then, BMX has gained its firm spot and has gained full recognition of being a true sport. We welcome the BMW Worlds after a 5 year break into a now mature BMX culture. Since then, many things have changed, and our passion for BMX freestyle is even stronger.
Marek Rejman, member of the IBMXFF says: “Right after the Worlds 2005 we decided that the new and BMX only facility need to be build to further grow BMX freestyle sport. We did not realize however, 
how much work and effort it would take to arrive at the final stage of our project. Worlds 2010 is a great opportunity to launch new venue. See you in June”.

The new site www.BMXWORLDSPRAGUE2010.com will be launched on March 1, 2010. Registration of riders, media and industry partners will begin then.
